> I have trouble to install XPushBack !

Some users have reported that by unpacking the archive, they ended up with files with ".1" names such as XPushBack.1.xpl in additions to the regular files (XPushBack.xpl).

To solve the problem:

delete the 'correctly' named files (e.g XPushBack.xpl, truck.bmp, truckLIT.bmp, truck.obj, and XPBlogo.tga) and remove the ".1" from the remaining files so that they acquire the correct name.

> I can't see any truck !

 

  • Make sure you activated the 'Draw truck' option in the preferences panel
  • Make sure your installation is OK. In your Ressources/plugin folder you should have the PlugIn itself (XPushBack.xpl) and a Folder 'XPushBack' containing the following files: truck.obj, truck.nml, truck.bmp, truckLIT.bmp and XPBlogo.tga.

It should look like this.

 

 

> The truck is all grey

  • It's because the textures files are missing.
  • Make sure you installed correctly all the files. See above for details.
  • Make sure you did not alter the files names (truck.bmp, truckLIT.bmp).

> XPushBack says: "the truck is not adapted to that plane..."

This is not a bug it's a feature! :-) XPushBack detects the length of the front gear if it's too short for the truck it display a warning. This is just a warning.

In the future we will have a whole set of trucks fitting all possible situations.

Meanwhile, you can go on like that or do your Pushback on the rear gear as it happen sometimes in the real world.
